Sante Restaurant - Ottawa

I have not dined at this restaurant due to the terrible service I received.

The food was delicious and the cozy ambiance is perfect for a romantic evening. The service was prompt and the blends of flavors were a delightful surprise. Great spot for a date night!

I have visited this charming restaurant on the corner of Rideau & Sussex for the third time. The ambiance and view are stunning. The food was so beautifully presented that it was almost a shame to eat it.

Unfortunately, Sante fell victim to the ongoing, seemingly never-ending, construction on Rideau Street, with the last straw being the infamous sink-hole collapse right at Sante's front door. After putting up with several years of Sussex Street repairs and upgrades along its western side, closures of lanes for the US Embassy, and then a major dig-up, Sante survived until the same kind of work was done on the south side along Rideau. Now there are only For Sale signs in the window. The passing of one of the jewels of Ottawa cuisine.

The restaurant it set up with several narrow sections, so most tables are against a wall. This makes it feel intimate. The service was great.Our food was well prepared and presented. I just found the food to be a bit bland. Nothing really stood out as great. Although it did taste healthy, which is obviously what they are going for.I would not come back unfortunately. I like going to places that are more bold with their flavouring.
